<p>Tell them that you can’t remember if you got in or not.</p>
<p>Well, at least people at your high school care about you! No one at my high school really buys into college gossip, especially since it’s the end of the school year; some of them didn’t even know about Harvard until Linsanity. I would say just ignore them and move on with your life. As cliche as it is, YOLO, and you can’t let some silly high school rumors ruin your future at such an amazing school like Stanford. Chin up, and be proud of what you have accomplished!</p>
<p>
Ok here we go:
1.) Ya’ll is also correct.
2.) Whoops! Simple everyday mistake.
3.) It wasn’t meant to be.
4.) “FACEBOOK” is an emphasis.<br>
5.) So what, I’m trying to prove a point not write an essay.
6.) I didn’t mention Facebook or Twitter in the same sentence? Shake my head. And if I substitute “them” for “Facebook” or “Twitter”, then no one will know what I am talking about.
Take that dfree. * signature salute* Thank you. Thank you. That was my 6 errors explained.</p>
<p>“Shake my head”? </p>
<p>Why will I shake your head?</p>
<p>I swear CC is getting stranger every day.</p>
<p>This is quality. </p>
<p>-I don’t think the word “careless” was warranted here, so I’d put that down as a word choice error.
-Anyone who* asked.</p>
<p>As for OP, I suggest you let it blow over, but clarify this was a misunderstanding to people who ask in the future. If you’ve got a school Naviance, it could get awkward - but you’ll be gone, so who cares?</p>
<p>No need to be rude, people. Just because the OP is going to Stanford doesn’t mean she can’t be affected by peer pressure and rumors. Geez.</p>
<p>Honestly OP, it doesn’t matter what you do because they will forget about it within a month anyway. If you own up to the lie, though, you may feel better in the future and nobody will care regardless after graduation.</p>
<p>And only on CC would people get in a frenzy over grammatical errors. Leave Descuff alone.</p>
<p>Frenzy? It’s nothing but a bit of banter.</p>
<p>^This guy…</p>
<p>@unforgiven… people say “smh” all the time so your logic is correct.</p>
<p>Seriously, your better off just explaining to everyone what happened. If you’re anything like me, this will bother you in college. Besides someone could mention it later on in life and it’ll make you feel odd even then. Own up to it as soon as you can so that you don’t have to keep lying and stretching it.</p>
<p>Descuff, smh is generally translated as “shaking my head,” not “shake my head.” The latter is an imperative statement (command). Thus, you were commanding us to shake your head.</p>
<p>Just tell the truth. If someone talks to you about you going to Harvard, then tell them it was a mistake. Also, like every one said, you could post on Twitter or Facebook about the mistake/rumor. I hope this helped!!!
By the way, congrats on getting into Stanford!!! What do you plan on majoring in?</p>
<p>@Studious: smh is indeed shaking my head, but people refer to it as shake my head as in (that is what I’m doing). And I could say shaking my head meaning I’m not doing it, you are the one shaking my head. And why are we arguing grammar… This isn’t English class.</p>
<p>Or is it?</p>
<p>You know, there’s not much grammar arguing that goes on in my English class anyway. There’s not much that really goes on it that class at all.</p>
<p>OP, I would just own up to it. It’ll keep bothering you if you don’t clear things up.</p>
<p>Go with the flow because you already said you got accepted into Harvard so… They’ll forget about it!</p>
<p>Descuff, if a guy posts a Facebook status that says “coming home,” one can assume he means he’s the one coming home. However, if he had posted “come home,” one could not assume that he meant he himself is coming home. It is an imperative statement, so he is ordering someone to come home. In saying “shake my head,” you were ordering someone to shake your head. “Shaking my head” means that the person is shaking his/her head.</p>
<p>@helloel, that’s probably why people here are arguing grammar, because they don’t do it in class…</p>
<p>On topic: I can’t honestly believe that people are really saying to go through with it, smh.</p>
<p>This guy is so confusing…</p>
<p>Studious, I believe in logic over grammar. You cannot safely assume that he is the one coming home. There is no dominant I’m in front of “coming home” therefore one could also assume that perhaps a person who somehow related to this man is the one “coming home”.
On a second note: Ya’ll really need to study slang more.</p>
<p>Descuff, is it not possible to “believe” in both logic and grammar? It’s not a fact that he’s coming home, but that is the clear intention. You would simply be ignorant to think otherwise.</p>
